Who are you gonna believe, me or your lyin’ eyes? There is NO ASSAULT ON CHRISTIANITY!!
University Bans Christian Group for Requiring Leaders to Adhere to ‘Basic Biblical Truths of Christianity’
“TCF is the Tufts chapter of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, an evangelical Christian mission on college campuses across the country, and also has ties to the university Chaplaincy,” the Tufts Daily reports.
“The group had been operating in a state of suspended recognition after the Judiciary found that the group’s constitution excluded students from applying to leadership positions based on their beliefs. The clauses in question require that anyTCF member who wishes to apply for a leadership role must adhere to a series of tenets called a Basis of Faith, or eight ‘basic Biblical truths of Christianity.’
“The Judiciary last month recommended that TCF move the belief-based leadership requirements from the constitution’s bylaws, which are legally binding, to its mission statement, which is not.
The group is planning to appeal the student board’s decision.

AND THEN THERE”S THIS FROM RightWingFeather -
A group of Louisiana State University football fans whose admiration for the Tigers is second only to their love for Jesus is outraged after the school digitally erased the tiny crosses they painted on their bare upper chests at a recent football game.
School spokesman Herb Vincent told the site the school altered the image to prevent other students from being offended by the weekly Geaux-Mail newsletter.
“We don’t want to imply we are making any religious or political statements, so we air-brushed it out,” the school said in a statement. “Only one of the students, who didn’t appreciate it, actually contacted us about it. So next time, we’ll just choose a different photo.”
Going forward, the school plans to steer clear of photos with religious overtones when it sends out emails promoting athletics.

OK, so Christian organizations on a college campus have to accept non-Christians (ie: they have radical atheists & Satan worshippers waiting somewhere) as president of their organization or else they’re bigoted NAZIs, but under 0bamacare for Catholic hospitals to get a religious exemption they have to employ and serve Catholics exclusively?!?!

The Militant Godless and Satanic islamists are doing their evil work all across the Earth.
Somebody tell me, again, that evil is a relativistic moral nonsensity and not a component of objective reality.

What part of Freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion do these idiots not get?

One school disallows a Christian group because they offend other people and another erases the painted crosses on students for the same reason.
Another example of how the left believes it’s perfectly acceptable to offend Christians.
They know Christians won’t riot in the streets over such stupid behavior.
And fear muslims.

Why don’t they just steer clear of religion altogether and let people believe what they want to believe?

“. . . or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
They like to ignore that part of the foundation of our nation.

It’s not even a crucifix. SO scared of a “T”! Maybe they should get rid of all “T”‘s. They can be Ufs Universiy and the Igers. Stupidity sure takes over fast doesn’t it?

They did far more than “erase” a symbol. They took one step closer to eradicating christianity from one more American instution.
Damn us all if we continue to allow these types of persecutions.
